In this eye-opening episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty speaks with Lisa Johnson, co-founder of Been There Got Out, a certified domestic violence advocate and high-conflict divorce strategist. Lisa shares how she endured ten years of legal abuse, represented herself in court, and turned her experience into a mission to support others. From recognizing coercive control to navigating family court without a lawyer, this episode breaks down how survivors can shift from feeling powerless to becoming fierce legal self-advocates.
